Detailed explanation-1: -A Desktop stays in the office or home and needs the computer terminal to be connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse; whereas the Laptop has the built-in components and thus easily transported as one complete device that can be used in most environments.
Detailed explanation-2: -Laptops are highly portable, and for some people, this makes them the obvious choice. If you need a computer that you can use in different locations throughout the week, a desktop is obviously unsuitable. The same logic applies if you are short on space. A desktop requires a desk, whereas a laptop can be used anywhere.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because laptops are designed for portability, there are some important differences between them and desktop computers. A laptop has an all-in-one design, with a built-in monitor, keyboard, touchpad (which replaces the mouse), and speakers. This means it is fully functional, even when no peripherals are connected.
